We undersell our surplus on the world market, which severely damages many third world economies that must rely on agricultural output but can't undersell U.S. products.
I think this should be a free market issue. Farm subsidies serve no purpose anymore. There really are very few family farms. I'm out in Iowa, and there just aren't many. Furthermore, the vast majority of subsidy money goes to large agribusiness, not family farmers. They don't really need the help, they just get it.
